Taking Submissions: Gamut – Science Fiction and Fantasy – 1 DAY ONLY!

Deadline: Opens and likely closes May 1st, get in on midnight folks!
Payment: 10 cents per word for original fiction, 2 cents per word for reprints
Theme: Science Fiction and Fantasy

A magazine, publishing house, and academy for writers & readers of dark speculative fiction. Gamut was made to showcase and celebrate readers, writers, and artists who love dark speculative fiction. We have three guiding principles:

• Enrapture your senses and ensnare your minds via our magazine and our published works.
• Support writers through all stages of their careers. With courses crafted to inspire, educate, and elevate.
• Embrace our foundational principles of equity and diversity and uplift and amplify those readers, writers, and artists who’ve been marginalized in the past.

Fiction:
Gamut magazine is open to dark speculative fiction. FOR THIS CALL WE ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION. Stories should be in the 1,000-5,000 word range. We support diversity here at Gamut, across the board, especially those voices that are marginalized. Please remove all identifying information from your submissions as we read blind. Simultaneous submissions are okay, just let us know immediately if your story gets accepted elsewhere. Multiple submissions are only allowed for poetry. But you may submit one entry to each category—so that means one submission each to new and reprint fiction, new and reprint non-fiction, and new and reprint poetry. Thank you for thinking of us, and we look forward to your work.

Non-Fiction:
THIS MONTH WE ARE FOCUSED ON FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION ONLY. Gamut magazine is open to speculative fiction, so our non-fiction articles should keep that in mind. As far as content, we tend to lean toward the tragic and uncanny, exploring transgressive themes—the taboo, the emotional, global experiences, you name it. So, for example, we might be open to a travel piece, but it wouldn’t be about where to eat and what hotels to book, but what the experience was like, or a particular angle. Think more Vice and less Travel + Leisure. We are also open to craft, genre, film, the arts—anything you think might be of interest to our readers. We will pay ten cents a word for original work. Essays should be in the 1,000-4,000 word range, but shorter is better. We support diversity here at Gamut, across the board, especially those voices that are marginalized.
